We are going to be moving to another house in our city soon. It is not far from where we live and it is really not a big deal. We made the mistake of talking to our girls about this a few weeks ago. It was a big mistake that we have been paying for the last several weeks. Pretty much everday we have a conversation like this:

Little Sojourner: "Are we moving today?!"

Daddy & Mommy: "Not today. It still isn't for a while. You don't need to worry about it. We'll tell you when it's time."

Little Sojourner: "Are we going on a plane?"

Daddy & Mommy: "No, we are just moving to another house here in the same city we already live in. It's not very far. Remember we took you there?"

Little Sojourner: "Oh, yeah! Are we bringing my toys?"

Daddy & Mommy: "Yes, we are bringing your toys. We are bringing ALL of our things."

Little Sojourner: Are we bringing ____________?"

Daddy & Mommy: "Yes, we are bringing your _________. We are bringing ALL of our things."

Little Sojourner: Are we bringing ____________?"

Daddy & Mommy: "Yes, we are bringing your _________. We are bringing ALL of our things."

Little Sojourner: Are we bringing ____________?"

Daddy & Mommy: "Yes, we are bringing your _________. We are bringing ALL of our things."

You get the point. It is getting to be a pain in the butt frustrating. But, we love the litte squirt anyways.

***Moral of the story: don't tell a 4 year old, whose only memory of moving was leaving behind EVERYTHING she ever knew, that you are going to be moving soon. Not a good idea.***

To sojourn: to stay for a time in a place; live temporarily.I am currently sojourning in a foreign land with my family. But I am also, as a follower of Christ, a sojourner in this world because my home is in Heaven. 1 Peter 2
